[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what I was trying to say.  No one on this forum should  be pretend to know what is best for OP and her family.

The domestic violence nuts think it is abusive not to say "please" and "thank you" and the time and to always use you indoor voice inside of the house.

Then there are people jealous at OP's education and professional accomplishments that think now is a good time to take her down a peg.  They may actually overlap with the aforementioned group (one of which got her degree from her mom and Lifetime TV!)

Then there are people who do not understand that an anniversary is just a day, like any other day.  They do not understand that there is nothing sacred about birthdays, anniversary dates, Valentines Day, Mother's Day, etc.  They have been conned by Hallmark and cannot comprehend why anyone might want to do something other than what convention dictates.

And then there are those calling OP a bitch for calling the police.

As for the people telling her to get out:  Are you going with her?  Are you leaving your spouse?  I don't think so.  Think of that before you tell OP what a terrible person she is if she does not do what you think she should do.[/quote]

Well, not for nothing, but some of the people telling her to get out are people who have been in a similar position before. Maybe not all of them, but some of them for sure. It's also possible that those people are projecting their issues onto the OP's situation, but it's also possible that they're speaking from a place of what they wish they'd done.

I'm the poster who asked about her support network. If the answer had been "no, I can't tell anyone", I would be happy to provide my contact information in case she wanted to get coffee or in case she needed a place to go. Even though I don't know her. Because I HAVE been there and it IS really lonely and scary.[/quote]
